To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, JAMESON L. PRUNTY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Wamego, in the county of Pottawatomie and State of Kansas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Smoking-Pipes, of which the following is a specification. i

The invention relates to smoking pipes and more particularly to the class of magazine attachments for smoking pipes.

The primary object of the invention is the provision of a pipe in which the bowl thereof has detachably mounted at its bottom atobacco magazine whereby tobacco may be stored therein and fed into the bowl for consumption on the smoking of the pipe, thus obviating the necessity of refilling the pipe at intervals after the same has been smoked.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a pipe in which a tobacco magazine is connected with the bowl of said pipe, the

magazine being provided with a feeder which causes the tobacco held therein to be forced into the bowl as the tobacco is being consumed during thesmoking of the pipe,

thus obviating the constant relling of they pipe by the user.

A still further object of the invention is the provision of a pipe in which tobacco magazine is mounte'd thereon and readily removable when it is desired to clean the pipe thereby assuring a sanitary condition to the pipe.

A still further object of the invention is the provision of a smoking pipe which. will enable a maximum amount of tobacco to be held therein for smoking purposes.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the claims hereunto appended.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a side elevation of a pipe with the attachment mounted thereon constructed in accordance with the invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view through the same. Fig. 3 is a sectional 'view on the line 3-3 of Fig. l1.

Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views of the drawings.

Referring to the drawings by numerals, the smoking pipe comprises the usual bowl 5 which is constructed from any suitable latter being detachably engaged in the bowl 5 in the usual well-known manner, the bore in the stem 6 being adapted to emit smoke from the bowl `into the mouth of the user of the pipe, as usual. The bowl 5 is provided with an open bottom and at diametrically opposite points thereof are inwardly projecting lugs 7 upon which the attachment is hung, as will be hereinafter more fully described. y Y

The magazine attachment comprises a tubiform or cylindrical barrel 8, the same being externally threaded at one end for the detachable engagement therewith of a removable cap 9, the opposite end of the barrel 8 being open and at diametrically opposite points thereof are formed bayonet or L-shaped slots 10 in which are detachably engaged the lugs 7 for the connection of the barrel with the bowl 5 at the bottom thereof, the barrel 8 being telescoped a short distance within the tobacco opening in the said bowl 5 of the pipe.

Removably threaded in the cap 9 is a centering disk 11, the same `being provided with a centrally threaded opening in which is adjustably engaged a threaded follower screw or plunger 12 to the inner end of which is fixed a piston head1?) while at its opposite outer end is formed a knurled turning knob or head 14, the piston head 18 being adapted to work within the barrel 8 and move longitudinally therein for the purpose of advancing tobacco packed within said barrel into the bowl 5 of the pipe. When it is desired to force tobacco held within the barrel 8 of the magazine into the bowl 5, it is only necessary to turn the plunger and adjusting screw in one direction which will force the piston head 13 inwardly within the barrel 8, thereby pus'hing or advancing the tobacco contained within the barrel 8, into the bowl 5 of the pipe as the tobacco is being consumed by the user of the said pipe. It is evident that in this manner the user of the pipe need not recharge the bowl after intervals with tobacco as it is consumed for the reason that the charge of tobacco within the magazine can be forced into the bowl on the consumption ofy tobacco previously held therein thus avoiding the constant refilling of the pipe. as the same is being smoked. Also it will be apparent that the magazine barrel 8 may be readily detached from the bowl of the pipe when it is desired material and centrally bored stem 6 theV to clean the same thus insuring sanitary conditions to the pipe.

Having thus described the invention, I

l. The combination with a pipe having a bowl open at its bottom, and a stem oonnected with said bowl, of a magazine Comprising a cylindrical body having bayonet slot-s in one end, a cap closing the opposite end of the said body, pins fixed in the bowl near its open bottom and adapted for engagement in the slots in the body for detachably connecting it with the bowl, and a follower means adjustably mounted in said body.

a bowl open at its bottom, and a stem conneoted with said bowl, of a magazine comprising a cylindrical body having bayonet `slots in one end, a cap closing the opposite end of the said body, pins fixed in the bowl near its open bottom and adapted foi` en gagement in the slots in the body for detachably connecting it with the bowl, a follower disk slidable in said body, and a detachable stem threaded in the cap and carrying said follower.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
